Is there a substitute for the While.. Doevents.. Wend cycle?

[Athenis]

The Doevents thing is preventing my form from unloading.
Is there a way to unload a form nicely while a While/Doevents/Wend loop is running, or is there a better substitute altogether?
Thanks.

Try to do it like this:

-

Public Sub Main()
Dim Active as Boolean

Active = true
While Active
'Code here

DoEvents
Wend
End Sub

-

Just call Main after starting the program and if you want to exit set Active to False.

I hope this will work. didnt tested yet..

Private Sub Command1_Click()

dim i as integer

while not i = 1000
i = i + 1
call unloadform()
doevents
wend

end sub

private function unloadform()

unload form

end function

Use a boolean, set to true in the form unload, and check in the loop if the bool is true, if so, exit the loop

Yes, CrazyD, that's exactly what I wrote ;)
